What is the saddest love story you know?

Question

Aside from Romeo and Juliet.Please.

Answer 1

In 12th century France, Fulbert, a priest of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, hired Abelard, a gifted but contrary theologian and Aristotelian philosopher, to tutor his brainy young niece, Héloïse. As you might have predicted, Abelard and Héloïse fell in love. What you might not have predicted (nor did they) is that Abelard impregnated Héloïse. When hearing of this, Héloïse's uncle Fulbert became enraged, and shipped Héloïse off to Normandy for the duration of her pregnancy.

After giving birth to a son, she returned to Paris, where - again defying uncle's wishes - Héloïse and Abelard slipped off for a secret wedding. When Fulbert got wind of this, it was just too much for him to bear, and - like any sensible guardian would - he organized his male relatives into a posse, ambushed Abelard, and had him "fixed"!

In the end, Abelard became a monk and Héloïse reluctantly entered a convent. (And you thought Romeo and Juliet had an unhappy ending?) But not all was lost, as their love affair still continued in the form of letters, which were later collected in book form. At the end of her life, Héloïse was abbess of the Paraclete, an abbey that Abelard had founded, and was buried next to him. One can only hope that the two lovers had better luck in the afterlife.

Well, to make this long story short, it's about a guy and a girl that loved each other, yet before they could reveal their feelings to one another, the girl had to move to a new state...

It's really bittersweet, and sad too... Both of them were from different family background and status...

Brief Encounter - where the morals of the times ruled.

Also, the story of Dracula. Imagine going through centuries having lost the one you love.

Answer 6

Annabel Lee
by Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee--
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea,
But we loved with a love that was more than love--
I and my Annabel Lee--
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her highborn kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me--
Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud by night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we--
Of many far wiser than we--
And neither the angels in heaven above,
Nor the demons down under the sea,
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee:
And so, all the night-tide, I lay down by the side
Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea--
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

Titanic..the moment where the actress let the actor who died sink in the freezing ocean...that's the saddest part.

Darkman's pretty sad. She still loves him, but he's not the same and couldn't be with anyone. The Illiad sucks too in the end.
